While some thought Viper would disappear forever when its cancellation was announced in 2010, the reprieve proved brief, with a gen-five 2013 prototype shown at the 2012 New York Auto Show. This would be a serious reworking of the car for customer pleasure and operation, with upgrades to lighting, suspension control, and braking. Offered here is number 99 of the 150 special Launch Edition Vipers that were built to first reintroduce the model for 2013. Showing 956 miles since new, this car has had only one owner since its initial purchase. The new car featured the all-aluminum 8.4L V-10 engine now rated at 640-hp, 6-speed manual transmission, and 3.55 rear gear. All 150 Launch Edition Vipers were painted Viper Blue with White stripes; a Black Laguna leather interior and a special dash plaque were also part of the package. As a GTS model, this car features the more deluxe options on the Viper line, with five-spoke wheels, Pirelli tires and Brembo brakes. Dual side exhaust outlets are the crowning touch on the refined design, already destined to be remembered fondly. Completing this purchase will be a copy of MSO and the original window sticker. Beautiful from every angle, this Viper GTS is a premier example of gen-five Viper production, and offers an excellent opportunity to own a collectible edition of this great performance car.
